seed of light

Описание: Once upon a time, there was a quiet forest between wide meadows and gentle hills. In this forest lived a small rabbit named Lumi. Lumi was not as fast as the other rabbits, but he was very observant. He could hear the smallest sounds and notice the tiniest changes. Because of this, he often understood what was happening in the forest before anyone else.

One morning, when Lumi left his burrow, he felt that the air was different from usual. The sun was in the sky, but its light seemed softer. The birds were flying, but their songs were not as cheerful as before. Curious about the reason, Lumi began to walk through the forest.

On the path, he met an old turtle. Slowly, the turtle said, “Sometimes the forest gets tired. When someone notices this, it can come back to life.” Lumi thought about these words and continued on his way.

After a while, he noticed a small, round stone gently glowing among the grass. When Lumi picked it up, the stone became warm and gave off a soft light, as if it were alive. Lumi was surprised but not afraid. He decided to take the stone with him and find his friends.

First, he met a little bird named Mira. When Mira saw the stone, she said, “This stone does not want to be alone.” Later, by the river, they met Finn, a kind otter. Finn looked carefully and said, “Maybe this stone belongs to the forest.” At that moment, Lumi felt that he should not keep the stone only for himself.

The three friends went together to the large tree in the center of the forest. Lumi placed the stone gently on the ground. At once, the stone began to shine more brightly. The leaves on the trees moved softly, the birds started singing louder, and the air felt a little warmer. It was as if the forest had taken a deep breath.

Slowly, the light faded, and the stone became an ordinary stone again. But the forest was no longer the same. It looked more alive and more peaceful. Lumi felt a warm and calm happiness inside.
When evening came, Lumi returned to his burrow. He had not traveled far that day, and he had not carried anything special home. But he had learned something important: sometimes, you do not need to be strong to heal a place; it is enough to be attentive and willing to share.
Lumi closed his eyes. The forest was quiet, but it was safe. And everything was just as it should be.
